Andrew Tate

A journalist since 1984, Andrew worked as a reporter and executive producer with ABC Radio News and in production roles at the BBC and other London mastheads before joining The Age full-time. A Walkley finalist in 2007 for best three headlines, and a Melbourne Press Club Quill winner in that category, he led the Sunday Age team to major Australian Sports Commission awards in 2012 and 2014 for best National sporting coverage. As an occasional columnist and writer, he’s a handy in-and-under type, albeit with limited skills by hand and foot.

Australia's leading race car driver says he is reconsidering road cycling as a training method because of the dangers cyclists face on the road, and has called on drivers to have respect for those on two wheels.

Australian Daniel Ricciardo's hopes of scoring a maiden Australian Grand Prix win were dashed before the race even got under way when his Red Bull Racer ground to a halt on the formation lap of the Albert Park circuit.

While Australian Grand Prix organisers are talking up the events ability to compete with the opening round of AFL, they'll also be talking to the new owners of Formula One to try and avoid the clash in future.
